Everybody knows

Lyrics: | |
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded | And everybody knows that it's now or never |
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed | Everybody knows that it's me or you |
Everybody knows that the war is over | And everybody knows that you live forever |
Everybody knows the good guys lost | Ah when you've done a line or two |
Everybody knows the fight was fixed | Everybody knows the deal is rotten |
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich | Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton |
That's how it goes | For your ribbons and bows |
Everybody knows | And everybody knows |
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking | And everybody knows that the Plague is coming |
Everybody knows that the captain lied | Everybody knows that it's moving fast |
Everybody got this broken feeling | Everybody knows that the naked man and woman |
Like their father or their dog just died | Are just a shining artifact of the past |
Everybody talking to their pockets | Everybody knows the scene is dead |
Everybody wants a box of chocolates | But there's gonna be a meter on your bed |
And a long stem rose | That will disclose |
Everybody knows | What everybody knows |
Everybody knows that you love me baby | And everybody knows that you're in trouble |
Everybody knows that you really do | Everybody knows what you've been through |
Everybody knows that you've been faithful | From the bloody cross on top of Calvary |
Ah give or take a night or two | To the beach of Malibu |
Everybody knows you've been discreet | Everybody knows it's coming apart |
But there were so many people you just had to meet | Take one last look at this Sacred Heart |
Without your clothes | Before it blows |
And everybody knows | And everybody knows |
Everybody knows, everybody knows | Everybody knows, everybody knows |
That's how it goes | That's how it goes |
Everybody knows | Everybody knows |
Everybody knows, everybody knows | Oh everybody knows, everybody knows |
That's how it goes | That's how it goes |
Everybody knows | Everybody knows |
